caught in my life this time
i'll swear off future crimes
lighten my soul
and i'll give up everything
then kick the bite (?) the scream
--- --- home
i'll wing it back to front
i'll wing it front to back
i want to feel this again
just like the heart attack
i want to make it good
i want to make it pure
make it right

caught in my life this time
'cause i'm so hardwired
to be alone
and we were everything
no i'm just kidding
don't want to know
and my --- goes out to it
my limbs are inside out
this voice is in my head
it's like a --- shout
but i can't turn it off
but i can turn it down
i'll make it quiet

ooh ooh ahhhh
i want to know

if you're gonna be a restless soul
then you're gonna be so so tired
if you're gonna keep me up all night
then you better learn to --- this fire
if you're gonna be a restless soul
then you're gonna be so so tired
if you're gonna give up on this fight
then i'm gonna call you a liar

    My Interpretation:I always assumed this was about someone turning over a new leaf, and their struggle to stay pure and good even though their evil intentions are still nagging at them.

    General Comment:From the album sleeve:

    Pardon my life this time
    I'll swear off future crimes
    Lighten my soul
    I'll give up everything
    The kick, the bite, the scream
    Be tame and old
    I want to go back to front
    I want to go front to back
    I want to feel this again
    Just like a heart attack
    I want to make it pure
    I want to make it good
    And make it right

    Pardon my life this time
    'cause I am so hardwired
    To be alone
    You want to know everything
    But you are just kidding
    Don't want to know
    My blood flows out to in
    My nerves are inside out
    This voice is in my head
    It's like a bark, a shout
    But I can't turn it off
    I can't turn it down
    Or make it quiet

    If you're gonna be a restless soul
    Then you're gonna be so, so tired
    If you're gonna keep me up all night
    Then you better learn to love this fire
    If you're gonna be a restless soul
    Then you're gonna be so, so tired
    If you're gonna give up on the fight
    Then I'm gonna call you a liar
